Dobson Fly / Adult hellgrammite

This is what a Hellgrammite larva turns into.  They are called Dobson Fly.  They reach 3-5 inches long and cant inflict a nasty bite with their pinchers.  They are harmless as far as not having any venom or poison but they will bite it disturbed.  You can pick Dobson fly up by grabbing the back of the wings.  They will attempt to bite you by reaching back but they can't reach the back of their wings.
